After so much of cakes and cookies, I am sharing an easy grilled corn which you can do on the stove top. The best part is it is fat free....no oil....no butter... and yes HEALTHY too!
Usually this is done on top of charcoal....which I must sadly admit is seen very rarely in Kerala, but if you go outside the state especially during winters and monsoons you can see corn being grilled on top of charcoal at every nook and corner...oh! how much I loved munching on them....and the smokey flavour.
This is a desi style (Indian style) method with desi dressings....a typical street food style.
I took this pic during my last visit to Mysore.
Here is what you should do:
Corn: 1, select soft ones (press your thumb nail into it to find out softer ones).
Red Chilly powder: 1/2 tsp.
Amchur/dry mango powder: A big fat pinch (optional).
Salt: 1/2 tsp.
Lemon: 1/2
Method:
Select soft corn by pressing into one kernel with your thumb nail...your nail should go right in and it should be juicy....avoid harder ones.
2. Remove the skin and put it on top of gas flame, try to cook all the sides by turning it (you will get the black spots in a matter of minutes)...If you have grill at home then go ahead and grill it.
3. Mix red chilly powder, amchur (if using), and salt. Press one lemon into the masala.
4. Take the hot grilled corn...
5. And rub the lemon all over.
6. That's it perfectly grilled spicy, citrusy corn is ready to munch on this winter......perfectly grilled street food right in your kitchen and healthy too.
Note: Omit the red chilly powder to make it Kid friendly.
